Appiieation mea my 2e, 1911'. semina. 629,564. t f

To a6( -wiom 'it `may concern.'

a citizen of the United' States, residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and .State 'of Ohio, have invented new" and, usef'ulA Improvements in Bakers- Devices,` of which the followingisa specification.'

This invention relates 'to vbakers proofing devices and. theobject' of the invention is the provision of a device wherein the .bread may be carried directly from the mixers or baking pans ready for the ovens.' Y

A further object of .the invention is the provisionof means fo'rsifting flour upon the Aloai buckets and upon the bread therein and for automatically dumping the buckets on to a conveyer, Whereby'the loaves may be transported to'a. point Where' they may be conveniently placed in baking pans. The

"dough, While passing through the machine,

rises sufficiently to be -ii'ninediately there-v after. placedin the oven. 1 ,Further objects of .the invention will appear las the following .specific description is read in connection With the accoinpan f part of this 'ap-y i ing drawings, which form a plication, and in Which:-

Figure 1 is a front elevation. Fig. 2 is a left hand end elevation. Fig. 3 is aright handend elevation. Fig. 4 is a vertical longitudinal section. Fig. is a horizontal section on the line -5-5 of Fig. `1. Fig. 6 is a detail transverse-vertical section, Fig. 7 is a detail vertical' sectional vieu'r showing the position of the tripping.,` levers. Fig. 8

' is a' detail top plan view thereo. Fig. 49

. trolled in the usual' manner by couxiter-- Vis a detail elevation of the chain adjusting mechanism. Fig. 10 is asection on the lin'e 1 0-'10 ofFig. 9. Fig.' 11 is afdetail sec.

tional view through one of the chain sprock cts. Fig'. 12 is vadetail transverse' sectional ticnon the line 14-14 of Fig. 6.

Referring lmore particularly to theV drawings, lrepresents a casingv havingfaplurality of sash' frames 2 mounted therein ih whichisashes 3 and 4- a're. mounted and con- Weights 5.

At the bottoni of the casing a plurality" ofV drawers f3 and 7 -are slidably niounte'd 'in suitable guides from the front andrear of the shaft 21.

Y the casing, for a purpose to be hereinafter Beit lniownthat, DARiiis B. Bnroes,-

described.

Mounted `in the casing and extending `transverse'ly thereacross 'is 'a plurality of shafts 8 and 9, which y,are provided with Loosely journaledupoiropposite.ends of each sha-ft are sprocket wlieelslll positioned against. longitudinal movement by' fthe collars and `having traveling' thereover the sprocketc'hainsl and 17." These sprocket chains have swiveledto opposite links, bymeans of headed bolts' 18, the buckets 19' ivhclrare .substantially crescent shaped' in' cross section and which are 'preferablylined' with canvas 01' other suitable material, as shown at 20, the buckets -lextending entirely between the...chains and having .suicient weight to norm-ally... hold thein' in upright position. y

Journaled inthe ca sing, adjacent-the up- 'per portion thereof, is a driving shaft 2l having' sprockets 29. arranged at either end adapted to receive the chainsfl and 17 and .to drivetheni overv the .sprockets 111 upon the shafts 8 and .9, thesh'aft 21 ybeing connected to any suitable source of pou-'ei'. A# `ter passing over the sprockets 92 upon the shaft 2l the chains 16 and 17 pass over siuiilar sprockets 23 upon the. shaft Qa f urnale'd in the upper part of thecasing pai ".el -with The chains then pass over Sprockets 25 o'n the shaft Q6 journaled' in hearings at-the right hand side ofthe casing and from thenceover sprockets on a shaft QS vvlnch is journaled- 1n' hearing blocks 2S) mounted to slide upon the bracketarins 30in guide framesl.- The opposite 'en-ds of the guide frames have adjusting screws 32 threaded therein which bear" against the ends of the bearing boxes 29 andfhold them in adjusted' position. From this point the chainspass over the sprocket Wheelsl' upon theirst shaft of the Aseries 9, and 'ii'oin therev extend upwardly and downwardly, asshown in Fig..4-., over the sprocketuwheels 1 4 upon the -shafts' 8 and 9 'until the opposite-:or left handend of the' machine is reached. At this, the lett hand end of the machine, all chains pass over sprocket Wheels 83 arranged atopposite ends of asliaft 34 journaled in bearingsat the side of the casing and from' there-pass brackets 41 and is carried entirelyl through the machine in 'the "path shown by 'the arrows lin Fig. il until it reaches tliefaperture in` the-opposite wall ofthe machine, 'Where it is dumped on to a conveyor 42 which is in the fori-n of'a continuous vbelt 'mounted upon rollers 4if'and "44.

- otal adjustment of the arms 48.

"The roller 43is secured upon a shaft45 Vwhose endsiii'je journaled respectively inthe casing and in an arm 46 depending from the bracket'?. 'The conveyer is positioned'directlyunder the shaft 36 and in such position as .togr'eceive the loaves from the tripping mechanism to be noW described.

The shaft 45 is provided, atits inner end, with a beveled gear 46 which meshes with a similar gearfl carried at the end `of the shaft34, so that..the'conveyer is"continu 'ouslydriven during the operation of the machine.v l The tripping' mechanism comprises aA pair of adjustably pivoted levers" 48 and 49, carried upon the `outer ends of stub shafts 5() which project from the brackets 37 andhave adjusting nuts 5l. thereon and lock nuts 52. The arrangement'of the adjusting and lock nuts 5l 'and upon the stub shafts 50 permits their adjustment toward or away from the brackets 37,' while the' nuts 53 and 54, upon the ends of the'slia'ft, permit the piv- 'I'lie lower end of each arm '-18 is-lu-,reled away so as to strike the outer edge of the bucket, upset the same, dump the contents-thereof onto the conveyor and permit the continuedl movement of the bucket. l

Immediately above the tripping mechanism another sifter is supported upon and also the board where it' leavesthe buckets.

Itl will thus be yseen that dough inthe un- .bracketarms 56 invsuch a manner thatthe conveyermay be properly coatedv with flour raisedstate may be `placed in the trays or 'l troughs in the form of loaves and passed. -through the machine to the conveyer, their passage occupying a sufficient space 'of 'time to permitthe proper raising of the breadfor the ovens. In this manner a continuous supply oloaves may be fed'to the conveyerl and at all ltimes may loe inspected-through' A.the

a measure atleast, insuring a cleanA product. Having thus described the invention, what Iclaim asnevq is:- 0- -k l In combination, a casing forming;` an oven and provided with an opening iri'one` end. `wall thereof, 'a plurality of sproelts''jour- 4 naled Within the casing, chains movable over the said sprockets and provided with loaf carrying buckets, brackets `secured* to said easing adjacentsaid opening, a shafthjournaled `in said brackets, sprockets carried b said' shaft-,and operatively associated "wit said chains-which extend through said openingto provdea discharge, stub shafts mounted in the brackets, rearwardlyo'f the first mentioned shaft and 'arranged'inparel; lelism therewith, trip arms pivotaliy mount ed on said stub shafts, said arms being alijus-'tablelongitudinally on said shafts, and A means for locking said arms in any pivotal adjusted position.
